Style Tips: How to Accessorise with Intention

Accessories are more than afterthoughts — they’re the quiet heroes of any outfit. A thoughtful piece can elevate your look, tell your story, and bring confidence into every step.

1. Keep It Minimal

Less really can be more. Choose one statement piece — a structured bag, a bold earring, or a silk scarf — and allow it to shine. Understated accessories aren’t boring; they’re refined. They speak of quiet confidence.

2. Match Tones, Not Textures

The secret to effortless pairings? Harmonise colour, not material. Soft oatmeals with warm gold. Earthy tones with brushed brass. Don’t be afraid to blend linen, leather, resin, and raffia — it creates a look that feels lived-in yet intentional.

3. Quality Over Quantity

Your accessories should feel like an extension of your identity. Invest in fewer pieces that are beautifully made. A hand-tooled leather belt. A vintage-inspired brooch. A crossbody you’ll still reach for in five years. These choices speak volumes.
